Exercise • Take a few minutes to explore the Toolkit and the help topics. Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 42
Organization of RDA • Tab marked RDA = the RDA guidelines • Tab marked Tools = mappings, workflows, schemas • Tab marked Resources = other resources: AACR 2, LC-PCC Policy Statements Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 43
Organization of RDA • Introduction • Recording attributes of the FRBR entities – Chapters 1 -7: Group 1 entities (WEMI) – Chapters 8 -11: Group 2 entities (PFC) – Chapters 12 -16: Group 3 entities (COEP) • Recording relationships (Chapters 17 -32) • Appendixes – Abbreviation – Capitalization – Relationship designators • Glossary • Index Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 44
Organization of RDA (Introduction) • Chapter 0 • Core elements: 0. 6 • Internationalization: 0. 11 Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 45
RDA Core Elements • AACR 2 1. 0 D has three levels of description. • RDA 0. 6 instead designates “core elements” • The core elements are intended to support the FRBR user tasks – identify and select a manifestation – identify works and expressions embodied in a manifestation – identify the creator or creators of a work Module 3.

Core Elements in RDA In addition to the list in 0. 6, Core elements are identified throughout RDA, as in this example. Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 51
Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 52
Core Elements in RDA • Catalogers are advised to “include any additional elements that are required in a particular case to differentiate the resource from one or more other resources with similar identifying information. ” (RDA 0. 6. 1) • They may also include any other elements that in their judgment are needed. Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 53
Internationalization • 0. 11. 2. Some elements are to be transcribed as they appear (see RDA 1. 4). “Other elements are generally recorded in the language and script preferred by the agency creating the data. ” • Instructions calling for a controlled list in English may be modified to reflect the language of the agency. Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 54
Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 55
Transcription vs. Recording • When RDA says to “transcribe” something it means “take what you see” (with some leeway for capitalization and punctuation) • When RDA says to “record” information it means follow the RDA instructions for that element, which may include manipulating the information in some way Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 56
Organization of RDA (Attributes) • Section 1 (Ch. 1 -4) = Manifestation & Item • Section 2 (Ch. 5 -7) = Work & Expression • Section 3 (Ch. 8 -11) = Person, Family, & Corporate Body • Section 4 (Ch. 12 -16) = Concept, Object, Event, & Place Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 57
Structure of the Attributes Chapters • Structure of “attributes” chapters in RDA – Purpose and scope – General guidelines, including allowed sources – Guidelines for specific attributes – Guidelines for constructing access points (called “headings” in AACR 2) Module 3. Using the RDA Toolkit 58
